But not being aromantic hardly makes a reason for being upset at any night. Was it being romantic the wrong way and/or to a wrong person?
Nvm. Hey, is it Monday already?

Two Hills, 18.01.2016, somewhere around morning.
At least I'll skip school.

Because there's tons of snow. I can't come out of my house and it's still snowing.
Pics or didn't happen. The pic presented shows the ordinary winter landscape, no disaster. If I skipped school every day it looked like this, they would have never seen me there Nov-Mar inclusive. In fact, it looked quite the same when I looked out my window this morning. What's the problem?

OK, I'll admit. One, I lied, because I pulled a random photo from a site on a news site about my town. Two, there exists a 50% chance we might go to school, but it's awful outside (no, really. It's a lot worse now) and I can't be bothered.

To add to all of this I'm a lazy bastard who can't crawl through the snow just for some education, when I could be doing Stuff*!
*i.e, playing Fallout until my eyes bleed.

That's also something I feel sympathetic about, really. It's 10:30 and I still can't force myself to go out and head to the office. Will wait till my wife returns from her gym thing, and take her warm car. Mine is an ice cube burried in a snowpile.
Romance comes trough two ways: it happens (abruptly, unexpectedly and with awkward timing) or it is created (deliberately, carefully, consuming tons of time and effort, and with iffy results). Each way has pros and cons. But since it does not happen, you're left with no choice but to create it.
Exactly what I'm talking about.
Generally, crisis is a state of things when the old concept(s) and approach(es) don't work already, and the new ones have not been developed and/or put to work yet. Mid-life crisis is no different in that. Your one is also fitting there: the old concept/approach (romance happens) does not work already; new concept/approach (romance is created) does not work yet; and there you are, feeling upset about it.
Try something crazy: buy a stuffed animal and give it to the next nice
Or something else you wouldn't normally expect of yourself.
Alternatively, you can give it up, write yourself off as a done deal, and forget about it.
You're welcome

I really like this quote, but it's slightly too depressing for me to want to have it as my signature.
As a piece of literature, it's lovable. Even marvelous. But...
Yes. And "slightly" means that you've gone a long way in that direction. I actually think it's horrifyingly depressive, which actually is a strong emotional response, which proves the quote wrong.
It is not about ability to feel strong emotions. It is about the things that deliver those emotions.
As a human (or, I suspect, a carbon-based life form, because it is probably about every nervous system around here on Earth), you cannot experience same level of strength in emotional response to one and the same trigger every time. With time you get used to it and emotional response fades.
You've got to find new sources for emotions as the old sources wear off.
The whole point the quote makes is that "same old stuff is not that much fun anymore," and it is true. But it is not about one's ability to have fun, it's about the fact that the same old stuff is the same, and the old.
A newborn can be impressed with a rattling toy. A kid can be impressed with a cartoon or a bicycle. An early teenager gets fascinated about a gaming console. A teenager in their adolescence are amazed with whole new unexplored horizons of social activities. A young adult goes further there and also gets excited about cars, career opportunities, travel, etc. Then comes family stuff of all sorts, kids, interior design, etc. Then comes gardening and couple counseling when the kids are old enough to have romantic or family issues themselves. Then something else. And so on.
Basically, there always is something new and interesting to try. All that one has to do is spot it and go for it.
